| Could it be the pee pads? Okay so I haven’t been on here in a long time but I’ve found myself so busy with work and Roxy that I’m going crazy. Let me start with Roxy is my first real pet ever. I’m hoping there is nothing wrong with my baby but I’m starting to worry. When I first got her it was a disaster trying to train her but after joining this forum and getting insight from you guys I’ve learned that it takes time and patience. So I waited and finally my baby got it. Up until 2 days ago that is. The last 2 days I’ve noticed a difference in Roxy for some reason or another I’ve noticed that she only likes to go pee on the pad 1 or 2 times max. Now Roxy is only 5lbs and not very big being that she is only 8 months now her urine is not allot whatsoever. So usually she would pee on pad about 4 times before I got home to change pad. The last 2 days I’ve noticed that she pee’s 1 time then when its time for her second time I turn my head and she pee’s right in front of my sink in kitchen. I’ve caught her in the act and she knows that she does bad because when I sigh and say Oh Roxy she goes into her cage and puts her head down like oh oh….. Today when I was on my knees scrubbing (because may I ad it’s a tile floor and when she pees’ it’s in the edge of a tile so it runs down the grout) its killing my back LOL!!!! Any who today when I was cleaning I noticed her pee on the pad, now I’ve been buying these arm & hammer pads since Jan. and I noticed that you can see her urine bright yellow usually the pee seeps in and turns dark cause of the absorbent thingy but her pee was sitting there on top bright yellow. So I couldn’t help but wondering her telling me something. Now I learned the hard way that dogs don’t like change LOL!!! So I thought to myself could it be the pad? Is there such thing that the pad just isn’t working. I just opened the pack on Sunday so it would make total sense but I’m just not sure.. Can someone help me.. Do I make sense can it be the pee pads? Maybe just that pack in general?

| It very likely could be the change in pads. It could also be that Roxy doesn't like to use a wet pad. My Lady is like that. I have to change it after each use. I put two pads together so there is always a clean one available. |

| There is no difference in pad... Its the same pad since Jan (when I got her) also she has pee'd in the pad before this pack 3 even 4 times at a time....

| Whenever there is s change in bathroom habits, it's a good idea to have a urine sample checked for a urinary tract infection. |

| My brothers little yorkie will only pee one time on the pad and then he'll go else where. It is important to use more than one pad. I have four yorkies and I go through a lot of pads each day and have a few different spots in the house with potty pads. This works and no accidents.

| Unless she decided to change her habits 2 days ago she has always pee'd on pad more then once. For the past 5 months she has been fine with one pad. So I don't know what it can be....
